Re: grep leads me to an idea; php-ini.xml

you could probably do it with output buffering phpinfo(), and preg_match. Regards Alan Urs Gehrig wrote:

hello just a few posts ago, i read this thing about using grep to parse the php.ini path. i had this idea to put php.ini in an xml file for some days and found a solution with wddx. having no a way to grab the real php.ini path makes it even more automatic. so here is my unconvetional way of moving php.ini into xml: <?php if(stristr(exec("which grep"), "Command not found") != 1) { $ini_html = exec("php -i | grep php.ini" ); $ini_arr = explode("</td>", $ini_html ); $ini_path = strip_tags(trim($ini_arr[1]) ); $ini_vals = parse_ini_file($ini_path ); $packet_id = wddx_packet_start($ini_path ); wddx_add_vars($packet_id, "ini_vals"); echo $xml = wddx_packet_end($packet_id); } else {

   echo "There is no grep or no which either.\n";    }

?> C:\php>php -f ini2xml.php > php-ini.xml what you do with it is up to you ;-) -urs
